A wELL.EARNED VICTORY.


This Puts The New Havens In
Third Place-BegIey, The Waterbury,
side show. Again Here-He Loses
His Temper And DOmineers To His
Entire SattsfactIon-The New Ravens
Not Allowed To Coach.
The Waterburys came to New Haven yes
terday and Secretary Minor allowed them to
bring along their large side show, Begley
Manager Fogg sat on the players bench and
smiled, and so did all his players. In the
first inning his smile stretched to broad
grin when his and Secretary Minors right
the field The Waterbury players all laugh
ed as they stood basking in the sun and they
and Manager Fogg thought what an easy
time they would have to beat the New Ha-
vens They knew their side show would do
all he could for them.
The fact of the matter is, Begley has, IN
the three games umpired here this week done
more to iniure base ball than anything that
has happened this season. Section 5 of the
playing rules of the Eastern league says: The
umpire shall act in all games according to
his best Judgment and ability, always striv-
ing to be courteous, fair and gentlemanly,
remembering that the league is depending
on the public favor for support"
Inc ABOVE Is very Sl&u1ucaat. vi acCOuuI
of the two games Begley umpired here Mon
day and Wednesday the people knew that as
the Waterburys were to play yesterday he
would surely umpire, and the consequence
was the poorest crowd of the season. This
can be traced to several things. The section
says that the umpire should be courteous,
fair and gentlemanly." Begley has shown
and of gentlemanly actions. He imagines
that the league depends on him for support.
He was never heard to say an 1nsolent thing
to Waterbury player, but to those of the
opposing teams he makes insulting remarks SC
that the audience can hear him.
Yesterday he came to New Haven with
blood in his eyes, And to his credit let it
be said that he umpired fair game, with
the exception of his action in regard
to the New Haven coachers, one
that nobody could find any fault with, show
ing that what he has done before was open
and deliberate. In the first inning yesterday
Burns was at the bat and one of the New
Haven players told him to wait for good
ball. Begley told the player to keep still OF
he would not let the team coach. The play.
ers said something to Burns again and Beg.
ley's temper got the best of him. He told
Taylor and Halpin to come in from theiI
coaching Both were dumbfounded. Halpin
came in and as captain of the team attempt
ed to argue how he could do such thing.
"You shut up, or I'll fine you"
s'You won't fine me when am trying to
| argue question of the rules like that, as
am captain of this team"
F'I fine you &c." said Begley.
Before Halpin and Taylor came Begley
| threw off his mask and went over and sal
down beside his friend, Manager Fogg
When Begley fined Halpin the latter walked
back to the bench satisfied that even cap
tain of any team but the Waterburys has nc
right to talk with an umpire, who seemed
L. he Mon frapo
| ing word while the Waterburys talked
about as they pleased. Weir and Battir
openly 1nsulted Murphy, but Begley did moi
| mind that. Begley has shown that his dis
position is such that he is not fit to be al
| umpire. He told somebody here after the
| game Wednesday when Troy was run into
| that he was wrong on several decisions, bu
| could not help it. What an adj
mission for an umpire to makel Die
Begley really mean what h
| said? AS "Dasher" Troy said yesterday, thu
| New Ravens in the three home games thi:
| week have had to work directly against thu
umpire. Captain Halpin had perfect RICH
to question that decision yesterday.
